Confused about EPC Ratings?

When you build, rent or sell a property, you need an Energy Performance Certificate – this provides details on the energy performance of the property and what you can do to improve it.

It’s a current requirement that you must order an EPC for potential buyers and tenants before you market your property to sell or rent. An EPC contains:

information about a property’s energy use and typical energy costs

recommendations about how to reduce energy use and save money

An EPC gives a property an energy efficiency rating from A to G (with A being the most efficient) and is valid for 10 years. The certification also includes suggestions of how to improve the rating – loft, floor or wall insulation and double glazing etc.

The better the rating, the more attractive the property is to a prospective buyer. With rising fuel costs, more people are mindful of efficiency and minimising expenses, and lower energy bills.
